Question

Why is ranunculus cymbalaria is classified as a dicoledonous plant rather than as a monocotyledonous plant? (USING ONLY FEATURE)

Answer 1

monocotyledon  are rather small group of plants compare to genetically diverse dicotyledons, so, the comparison  of evolution progress must be narrowed. Anyway, monocots have more genes moved from chloroplast to nucleolus resulting smaller chloroplast genome  with better controlled photosynthesis.  Adding C4 mechanism, average monocot is better adaptable to diverse and harsh environment comparing to average dicot.
